Livingston Manor voters again reject proposal for school repairs

LIVINGSTON MANOR - For the second time in five months, Livingston Manor voters overwhelmingly defeated propositions to borrow monies and use capital reserves to address building needs at its school.

On Tuesday, district voters rejected a proposition to bond up to $2.8 million by a margin of 204 to 60 and rejected a second proposition to use $2 million in the capital reserve fund by 184-80.

Following the defeat, Superintendent Deborah Fox put out the following statement in a news release: “No doubt, the board and administrators will be considering how to tackle the infrastructure repair needs of our 74-year-old building within the foreseeable future in light of these defeated propositions.”

District voters on Dec. 12 overwhelmingly defeated a $6.9 million plan.
